GENE SIMMONS CAN’T WAIT FOR THE DEATH OF RAP

Kiss singer Gene Simmons created a firestorm in the hip hop community when he commented to Rolling Stone “I’m looking forward to the death of rap!” And Gene thinks rappers have no place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. “They sample and talk – they don’t even SING!” He says he likes SOME rap but “I don’t have the cultural background to appreciate being a gangster.” The Family Jewels reality star took his wife of five years, Shannon Tweed, to the Grove for some shopping and dining.

Gene Simmons looks like a midget Andre the giant, when are all these old stupid people going to die away?

We can’t wait for the death of his wig. This old fool seems to forget where rock originated from.

Ballsy and he’s entitled to his opinion, which I happen to agree with.

This isn’t race it’s style; rap is in a category of it’s own.

Couldn’t agree with him more. Rap is the lowest common denominator of music, IMO.

He will die before rap does

I agree with him. I hate rap.

Amen, for what he has given to music, he can give any opinion he wants. And he is right, all they do is sample and rhyme, they DON’T sing They should have their own HOF and leave them out of the Rock n’ roll HOF.

I agree with Gene. Rap is a low-class way of expressing anger. It all sounds alike. You don’t need any talent to Rap. We need real music and lyrics for most of us folks.

Rap is horrible. It can’t die fast enough. Bring back Jazz.

Gene’s hair looks like a Brillo pad. Is it real or a bad wig?

I can’t decide what looks more ludicrous. Gene’s comical kinky skull cap hair or Shannon’s stretched out duck lips. They both look a fright.

But I do agree with his assessment of Rap. Rap IS NOT music. It is just noise.

I love the group KISS. I don’t like rap very much. Gene Simmon’s is an old extremely talented song writer, entertainer, business man and whore has the world’s biggest ego.

This bad boy seems to have calmed down since he got serious about his former pornstar girlfriend and he has his friends wondering WHY. What’s so special about HER? We hear she keeps him satisfied by supplying her MALE porn costars for his entertainment. The bad boy pays each guy $5000 per visit so they are highly motivated to make him happy. It’s a family affair – the girlfriend watches while the bad boy fiddles around with the guys!
